According to people familiar with the matter, the US plan is to ask NATO allies to provide more funding for a key arms transportation project in Ukraine, which shows that despite ongoing tension between US President Trump and Ukrainian President Zelensky, US defense support for Kyiv continues. According to people familiar with the matter, as early as this month, the US will request more funding for NATO's “Ukraine Priority Needs List.” People familiar with the matter said that the US has already issued hints to some allies requesting funding. The exact amount sought by the US is still unclear, but people familiar with the matter said that there is a funding gap of about 2 billion US dollars for the approved arms procurement project. People familiar with the matter said that the US continued to deliver weapons even before allies provided funds to pay, and if the Pentagon decides to make more deliveries, the funding gap may widen.
